Ground/Airport Transportation

The main airport in Los Angeles, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), is roughly 16.8 miles from the LA Convention Center and easily accessible via car or public transportation. Estimated fare from LAX to LA Convention Center is $67.05, including 15% for tips. It is the third-busiest airport in the United States, with flights to and from almost anywhere.

Taxis can be found curbside on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal under the yellow sign indicating Taxis. Passengers will be presented with a ticket stating typical fares to major destinations.

Approximately 40 rental car companies operate out of LAX, with vehicle rental sites located off the airport. Many of these rental car companies provide phone links inside or near the baggage claim areas on the Lower/Arrival Level of the terminals so travelers can request a free shuttle pick up to reach the rental car sites.

Free shuttle bus service is provided from the Metro Green Line Aviation Station. Passengers wishing to use this shuttle bus service should wait under the LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections sign on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal, and board the “G” Shuttle.

Passengers also can take the “C” Shuttle from the same pick-up point to get to the Metro Bus Center, where they can board city buses serving the Los Angeles area. Information on city bus services is available by telephone on the Information Display Board in the baggage claim area in each terminal. In addition, passengers can obtain local transit information by calling 323.GO.METRO or 323.466.3876.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) makes it easy for visitors to use public transportation to get around L.A. It operates 2,200 buses and six rail lines, including a subway with service from Downtown to Hollywood in about 15 minutes. Whether you’re interested in seeing the stars along the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame, enjoying the beach at Santa Monica or shopping in Old Town Pasadena, Metro can take you there.

Car Rental/Group Discount

In Los Angeles, cars are much more than just transportation; they’re a way of life. One of the best ways to explore LA is to hit the road and take in the famous sights along the way. LA’s freeways are essential for navigating the city, so get to know major routes such as Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway, aka “The 405”), Interstate 10 (Santa Monica / San Bernardino Freeway), and Interstate 5 (Golden State Freeway). Iconic Hollywood Boulevard features landmarks such as the Dolby Theatre, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Madame Tussauds and the Pantages Theatre, while the legendary Sunset Strip is home to many of LA’s top restaurants, clubs and hotels. Wilshire Blvd. stretches from Downtown LA to the Westside, passing through Koreatown and Beverly Hills, and attractions such as the Wiltern Theatre and Museum Row. Some of LA’s best views can be enjoyed on scenic drives along Pacific Coast Highway and Mulholland Drive.
